Mrs. O'Leary's Cow

Words & Music:

Traditional

Late last night, while we were all in bed.

Old Lady Leary lit a lantern in the shed.

And when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said,

"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

DIVIDE THE GROUP IN TWO PARTS.

AT THE END OF THE SONG, ONE PART YELLS "FIRE!",

THE OTHER GROUP YELLS "WATER!".

AND EACH GROUP TRYING TO OUTSHOUT THE OTHER.
